Proverbs 10:3

But he casteth away the substance of the wicked - But instead of reshaim , the wicked, bogedim , hypocrites, or perfidious persons, is the reading of twelve or fourteen of Kennicott' s and De Rossi' s MSS., and some editions; but it is not acknowledged by any of the ancient versions.

The righteous have God for their feeder; and because of his infinite bounty, they can never famish for want of the bread of life. On the contrary, the wicked are often, in the course of his providence, deprived of the property of which they make a bad use.
